it but you might find this a very useful feature of php. (I've heard
that there is a perl interpreter that allows perl to be "embedded"
within html now too).
There is ePerl for about 10 years now. I'm not sure it's still the
leading "embedded perl in HTML" implementation. Maybe something a little
newer called "embperl", which mentions other implementations in its
intro
(http://perl.apache.org/embperl/pod/intro/Intro.-page-2-.htm#sect_1)
is the one to go with now if you want to use Perl.
All in all, I used to like working with ePerl much more than PHP back
than - PHP seemed to keep adding "special feature/syntax for X" whenever
"X" was missing while ePerl and friends just used "Perl as you know it"
with all the ready-made modules available for you. Though PHP went a
long way since.
